In the face of changes, things that are not right with our wishes make us insecure and unhappy. However, if we know how to live, know how to look deeply, then our life will have a lot of happiness. The monk analyzed the factors that make up a happy day that is the fact that we often return to the temple to study the teachings, such as, letting go, forgiving, using the Buddha 's name to transform three-karma our body, speech, and mind; or unwholesome things into good ones, do not let praise and criticism affect our living. From there, our life will become light, peaceful, and relaxed.

 The first book of Anguttara Nikaya, chapter Three Dharma, Sutra of Good Fortune, part Good Morning, he talked about good things being done will bring peace, harmony, or vice versa. Finally, He reminded the mass to always remember the Three Jewels by honoring the Buddha, respecting the Sangha, studying Buddhism and practicing the Dharma in life, not doing evil deeds, diligently doing good deeds, being awake facing praise and criticism...

 From birth to death a lifetime,

How kindly living is the fullest person.
